8 Great Candy Apple Recipes

8 great candy apple recipes perfect for autumn parties and Halloween!Autumn came to Chicago with a storm the other day. Even though I love it (and scarves!) I was trying to deny that fall was coming. But the wind blew and the rain fell (sometimes it blew too) and thoughts of holiday seasons started popping in my head.

I even heard Christmas music at a department store. Literally, I stopped in my tracks.

Anyway, when I was a kid one of the first things that made me realize fall was here were the candy apples. Here in Chicago I usually refer to them as taffy apples (that is the name of a company that produces them here) but I’ve also heard them called caramel apples. Really, they’re all just apples covered in sweet goodness.

The taffy apple company here had a deal with my grade school land- we would receive an order form to take home with us. It was a taste of Christmas when our taffy apple order came in and we could take it home.

It was all very exciting for a grade schooler. As I’ve gotten older the novelty has worn off a little bit but it is still a sign of fall and Halloween and holidays to me. Luckily, you can make your own candy apples at home. I have rounded up 8 candy apple recipes and I’ve also found some candy apple versions of other sweets and treats.

😮 lucky you!!! i wish i had this kind of store in my city
but again i think i wouldnt need to use my car but i would be rolling around the city i would eat like the entire store everyday haha
thank u for sharing this. i will try to remember it when am in chicago.

They look so good. Especially the white chocolate toffee and the pretzel caramel apples. I haven’t had a caramel apple in a couple of years. I usually get the sliced Granny Smith apples and fruit dip, but these look so much better. Gourmet apples. I love it! Thanks for sharing these recipes!

All these great ideas and yet the caramel and peanut ones still look most delicious to me. Guess I’m more of a traditionalist than I thought. Dipping the individual slices is genius, and I also like the addition of toffee, white chocolate and other surprises. Also I’ve got some apple chips from ALDI, and I might try dipping them in caramel. Autumn is awesome!
